Yes, I know you've made that claim.

Nonsense.  Perhaps you mean "official FSF gcc releases are usually
tweaked before being used as a system compiler" which is a very
different thing.

What does tha have to do with anything?  The whole point of this bug
report is what happens when gcc is *not* installed as a system
compiler.  (And I used "make bootstrap".)

I don't know what you mean by "passing includedir to gcc", but it
makes a lot of sense to search $prefix/include.
